  1. Lol this thread gets boring in March. Snapped this pic of a remaining pile of snowcrete outside a parking garage at UMD. In January/February it was nearly at the top of that poor tree . That spot gets a lot of afternoon sun - not sure if it will make it to April, but I will update on its lifespan.
  2. nice headed out lewes/rehobo way for easter... fingers crossed for a torch
  3. Wind is kicking butt as usual here
  4. Yep. Leaf out beginning in earnest up here on the high ridges of Silver Spring, for the earlier species. Like my black cherry. Redbuds are primed to pop. Cherries ready to go. Maples red and juicy.
  5. Fair but I only have a three year sample. And my 3 winter dataset is all pre-leaf-out. Last March, I generated 893.5 kWh. This March, through right now, I'm at 329.3 kWh. Bad lol. Tack on another 10 kWh for the afternoon and call it 340 thru the 18th. Through the 18th last year I was at 496.5kWh. Obviously the end of the month can generate more sweet sweet solar juice, but I am not going to make up that gap. 33% drop
  6. Sample size of one, but for my solar array: 12/20/25 - 3/17/26: 1.2 MWh of power produced 12/20/24 - 3/17/25: 1.4 MWh of power produced 12/20/23 - 3/17/24: 1.4 MWh of power produced So, call it a ~15% reduction in power produced due to cloudiness and snow cover between last winter and this winter (and the winter before that too). Feels worse than that though.
  7. It was brief, before 7am. Orange/pink/red on the horizon to the east, breaking through cloud cover a bit. But then back to gray gray gray :-(
  8. Stupid cold, but there was a nice sunrise this morning.
  9. The wind was ripping last night. Rattling my aging storm windows in a way we haven't heard for a bit on the second floor. Glad I don't have any big trees in my yard. We kill it with wind
  10. RIP. Always enjoyed his posts.
  11. That tracks with my experience in southern moco - literal creeks running fast across normally dry land IMBY. had to be 2" per hour or more rates
  12. Looking at the loop, I barely missed getting skunked. Heavier stuff was further north even just up the road at @WEATHER53's house
  13. Real gullywasher in Silver Spring - dumpage for a solid 15 - 20 mins. Yard pondage
